Yeah, that's a worry of mine as well. It's completely impractical for people with extensive scarring. Excisions are great for people with like surgical, injuries, or isolated acne scars. This would...

Sometimes people just start writing about something as part of their post to further a point they are trying to make. No one here should assume that they have the right to monitor postings and to deci...

Isoflous, Hey, thanks! I am definitely voting for Obama and praying that he gets in.   Jan31

If you had it all over your face then it might be hard to tell where you had it slightly more. I've noticed people tend to have acne concentrate on their cheeks and temples...and they also seem to ha...

well i understand naitchs being pessimistic because most scar treatment do not work.we just get made to believe we are getting 25 per cent improvement ect. and we get hardly any noticable change.im wa...

I especially liked the part that said Dr. Gurtner predicts that new therapies to significantly reduce scarring are only a year or two away...

I know this article has been shown on here before, but I just want to re-link it:     That article offers great hope to all of us that there actually people out there trying to help scar su...

BRD, Can blood be injected into an icepick scar or is this only for rolling scars? Also, do you think that, if I can't convince my doctor to do this, I could inject my own blood and then go to a ski...

I think Acell is a step ahead of Juvista, and more effective.     I hope so...but right now Juvista has more scientific evidence.       Renovo, is also traded publicly in ...

I would also like to talk with a plastic surgeon about this but I don't know what to say.   Should he get directly in touch with ACell? Can he just write out a prescription?   Maybe I could ...

I am thinking that maybe the method that will be used in the future is going to be either cutting out the pitted scars, stitching them up, going over the excision scars a few weeks later with a laser,...

Hoursafter, I thought you were talking about simply going and getting dermabrasion. I didn't think about applying ACell afterwards...   My thinking was that it's going to be awhile before ACell...

There have been no official trials of ACell on humans for scarring. Thus there are no real results (good or bad) for the media to frenzy over.   I'll echo whoever put the sentiments out there re...

I would like to tell my doctor about this...Would he have to contact ACell directly?   If it is available now to the general public, is that by prescription?          

This has all gotten a little off topic. This isn't a whether or not scarring should be covered by insurance thread, nor is it a thread to organize a scarring lobby. Let's stick to scarless healing, ...

Fact is, acne was your our fault to begin with. I'm sure that 99% of severe acne sufferers did not treat their bodies well while growing. Maybe we were unfortunately raised in an unhealthy family like...

We need to collectively find someway to get scar therapy treatments covered by our medical insurance companies. Right now it is considered cosmetic simply because the powers that be say so. Reconstr...

do you want to do something that will really help acne sufferers?instead of spending 10k on fraxel that will do not much for your scars.....if we would get organized then we would have a voice.i have ...

I was just wondering if anyone else has ever felt that their scars look much deeper when they look in a rearview mirror?     Jan31      

Right now I'm kind of getting the round about from the Integra people, but it seems like I'm pretty close to getting some answers from them regarding their product and will report back asap.   I ...

Tgan, This information about Integra is very, very interesting. I wonder why we haven't heard anything about it before. It hasn't gotten any media coverage, and as far as any of us know, it hasn't ...

A lot of doctors are going to be sceptical until they learn about ACell and how to apply it, and then they are then going to want to see what the results are... This is going to take a few months. &nb...

January-   I truly hate it when people say this to me, but this is one occasion where I must say this. Go back and read through the thread. It's long, but contains all the answers to your quest...
